Went into a Td banknorth the other day and asked if they had any halves. Teller tells me she just dumped all she had in the coin machine. On my way out i ask how much is in the bag, bc if its close il fill it and buy it. She says there only 136.00 in it. I know it takes 500.00 so im about to leave when she says do you want them. I ask if she can do that and she says yes. Im shocked to say the least. The only thing is she has to count them to make sure there all there. As she dumps them on the counter i hear that nice ding sound. The head teller them tells me that there are some nice silver ones in there. She goes on to tell me that alittle old lady bought in a bunch of silver halves, and when the girls were done buying what they wanted they put the rest into the machine. Just as she is telling me this, one of the other tellers over hears and started to pick out silvers that she wants for herself. After she is done counting i ask the other teller if i could buy the ones she took out for alittle more. She says that she doesnt think she can, however the head teller over hears and tells the cherry picker to give me the 6 halves. She explains that i was there first and it was only fair that i get them, since she had her shot to buy them.

Totals out of 136.00 dollar bag

21- 40% kennedys
4- 90% kennedys
1- 1951 Franklin

See... this is the stuff that gets me.

Why did they leave ANY silver? And 90% kens and even a BENJIE!? WDF!

How retarded are these tellers... it sounds like there were at least 3 different tellers that bought or at least wanted to buy some, so that is at least 3 people who KNOW they are worth keeping... why would they only buy some. And that teller only picked out 6 halves for herself? Don't tellers get paid enough to be able to buy more than $3 in change!?!

Crazy...

But screw it... it helped you... so let the stupid tellers keep leaving silver knowingly around for you... even if it doesn't make ANY sense.

I know, and what really got me was if they left those imagine what they took. If there leavin a FRanklin and 90%ers, that tells me they grabed the ones that looked "WEIRD" for themselves. Maybe MR barber, or miss Walker.
Thats what keeps me up at night
 

Can't let this bother you... take what silver is offered to you at face value and be happy.

If you worry about this and other small things... the aggrivation isn't worth it. There are too many other more important things to concern your thinking time with. ;)

I mean... we could always think about the times we buy rolls... anywhere from $10-$300 in rolls that don't seem like dumps... not the obvious amounts of $500, etc. and in a bunch of different rolls and conditions... but they turn out to be skunks. How many of those were cherry picked by telers, you know? I'm sure quite a few... because I have faith in people that I don't think all that many tellers can be so stupid as to not know what silver coins are or are worth.

Best not to worry about it.
